Thinking of my mum, who died nearly nine years ago, and of my Dad, who still misses her so much.

Especially now, as they were married 60 years ago today.

Other way round for me, Rusty.
Dad died 3 1/2 yrs ago. Mum misses him like mad and so do we all.

My darling brother Simon, died April 2007, never ever forgotten no matter how many more Christmases without you lie ahead.

My lovely mum, died August 1990. I'll always love you Mum but I will never understand why you did it.

Peace and goodwill to all those missing loved ones xx

Missing my mum, not just at christmas but every single minute of every single day.

My dear mum who died three years ago. I find this time of year so hard especially as her birthday is in December as well but I have two precious children, so must carry on for them. Good wishes to all of you who have lost someone close to you x

My lovely Dad who died 9 years ago yesterday.

i wish he'd been alive to see my son who has the exact same wicked sense of humour as my dad had.

and I hope he's looking down and thinking Im doing even half as good a job raising my son as he did bringing me up.

My Mum who died nearly 9 years ago. Her birthday is the 30th too. I think of her everyday but especially christmas as she loved her family so much. I hope she looks down and is proud of her grandchildren who she never got to meet.

Also Nan and Omami who went to a better place this year, I hope you are reunited with your loves and have a great time.

Pinkchampagne · 23/12/2008 13:26

My lovely nan who died in July 2007. This will be the second Christmas without her & Christmas Eve was always spent with her, so tomorrow I am going with mum to lay flowers by her grave. We all miss her loads.

My Dad.
It will be exactly 7 years since he was buried tomorrow.
DP is working all day so I may be weeping into my keyboard.

My adorable first boyfriend who I haven't seen for many, many years. The smiley-est boy in the world with a warm care for everyone.

He took his own life a few months ago and I wish I could have fixed it for him. Sleep well x.

frumpyThegrumpyReindeer · 23/12/2008 16:11

Hi OJ, wishing you a trifle of a happy time darling xxxx.

PavlovtheRedNosedReindeer · 23/12/2008 16:13

Mum - almost 3 years, feels like only yesterday. I am wearing the bracelet you gave me this xmas.

PavlovtheRedNosedReindeer · 23/12/2008 16:14

Do you know, I just counted back and its 2 years. I just have no idea of the time. So much has happened, and yet so little time seems to have passed.
